As for her life I dont really think it was as great as "gloria" claimed it was. If Bella attempts to do something which I do not want to do and I call her name and yes sometimes I do have to raise my voice to get her attention she will drop to the floor like Im gonna hurt her  , which I would never do |
I thought so too, but when you use the crating as a training tool it accounts for such a small fraction of a dog's life. Exercise her everyday, separate from that, sit and play for 10-15 minutes, back to the crate, but only after she has completely relieved herself.
DvlshAngel985 has given you some great advice, I am using this same approach with a great deal of success.
I wish you and Bella all the best, I was so glad to read your story about rescuing her despite the red flags and your preference in the size yorkie you wanted
. Welcome to yorkie talk, keep us posted.
